The grief
that lingers
in the midst of the miracle -
the lost time
that not even God
can bring back,
the scars of what we have been through
some still fresh enough
to bleed.
The resurrection of Christ is central to orthodox Christianity. It is therefore unfortunate for me that I sort of don’t believe it happened, me being a Christian and all.
One of the reasons most Christians find it hard to believe that I am a Christian myself is because I do not affirm the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And then I remember the Resurrection story.
I imagine the morning after when the disciples arose
weary and puffy eyed from weeping with grief
desolate, scared and confused.
I do want to note, however, why the Gospels have serious flaws in them when considering their material for historicity, especially when it comes to the resurrection.
